The Archbishops’ Amendment Fails
The Archbishops' Amendment was lost and the voting figures were as follows:
House of Bishops 25; Against 15; Abstentions 0
House of Clergy 85; Against 90; Abstentions 5
House of Laity 106; Against 86; Abstentions 4
Totals 216; Against 191; Abstentions 9
By the procedural device of vote by Houses, though this commanded a majority in the Synod as a whole, it lost because it failed to command a majority in the House of Clergy.
